Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 81)

Connecting to a LocalTalk network
To connect your Macintosh to a LocalTalk network, you will need LocalTalk
cables and a LocalTalk adapter. In most cases, the Apple LocalTalk Locking
Connector Kit DIN-8, available from your Apple-authorized dealer, contains
the components you need to connect your Macintosh to an existing LocalTalk
network. If your network uses standard telephone cables for your network
wiring, obtain an Apple LocalTalk RJ-11 Connector instead.
To connect your Macintosh to a LocalTalk network, do the following:
1 Shut down your computer.
2 Attach the LocalTalk adapter to the printer port or modem port on your computer.
3 Attach a network cable between the LocalTalk adapter connected to your computer and a
LocalTalk adapter on your existing network.
IMPORTANT While connecting to the middle of the network you may interrupt
other users. Check with your network administrator before you connect.
